Top congressional Democrats told President Trump on Friday that using the new House Intelligence Committee memo as a pretext to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and therefore halt the Russia investigation would spark a constitutional crisis.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said in a letter they are alarmed at reports that Trump may use the memo as a pretext to fire Rosenstein in an effort to corruptly influence or impede special counsel Robert Muellers investigation.
We write to inform you that we would consider such an unwarranted act as an attempt to obstruct justice in the Russia investigation. Firing Rod Rosenstein, DOJ Leadership or Bob Mueller could result in a constitutional crisis of a kind not seen since the Saturday Night Massacre," they said.
Rosenstein is the only Department of Justice official who can remove Mueller, and he was expected to be named in the four-page classified memo made public Friday.

You mean Rhodamstein?
Rats are too cute and furry to be compared to swamp critters. They’re more like slime molds.
Sadly, the Senate failed by one vote to remove him.
It’s Priebus.
Agree. MAGA!!!
Amen, brother FReeper!
Can you say “Sham wow”?
I warn you! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
You KNOW he’s DIRTY and CORRUPT since the Dems don’t want him fired!
The DemonRATs are threatening to take America hostage with their threats of creating a Constitutional crisis. The DemonRATs are in a corner and, like any criminal, will take any measure, even if it means taking America down to escape. Because they are willing to engage in any criminal activity to continue their criminal ways, they are a mortal danger to America.
Trump has already signed an EO to take their assets back in December. It has a list of names and anyone that is associated with those people. The list has grown.
There is no indication whatsoever that the US military would side with Pres. Trump. Military leadership has the same education and worldview as the rest of America’s elites.
you almost have it. Mueller at this point will be required to go after those that set him up or he could be prosecuted as well.
HA HA HA. Dwemocrats have been doing this garbage all year. Trump hasnt said he would fire anyone and nobody in his administration says he would fire anyone. Trump had better not defacate on Pelosis desk, it would be a grave constitutional crises. Bla bla bla. Why would Trump fire ANY of the clowns? They are so slow Trump, despite his age and girth, is running rings around them. It is like a Keystone cop movie! When your enemies are shooting themselves the best thing to do is step aside and watch!
The Democrats have become the boy who cried wolf once too often and now the wolf is going to devour them.
constitutional crisis.
The “Saturday Night Massacre” was not a constitutional crisis.
Sending an army of 550 000 men to Vietnam without authority to do so? THAT was a Constitutional crisis.
I am very disturbed by the news coverage about Rosenstein on Fox News.
I watched the “Special Report with Bret Baier” Yesterday. He interviewed Nunes who stated that Rosenstein was still a good choice to stay in his position, and that Nunes liked him. Nunes said a couple of times that he “liked” Rosenstein. Today, when Fox is covering the story on Fox and Friends, they broke down the bad actors, and Rosenstein’s name was not mentioned at all. The white house seems to be defending him also. Can anyone here shed light on this phenomenon? What gives?
Can the President released those FISA warrant applications ?
'ef you don't...
